    I dropped my motor in yesterday and my hooker 6901s slipped in just like they should and I lift my steering off just for more room , it was off anyway, well I though I'd hook it up and work on road hight and I went to turn left and it didn't go all the way. OK I put a power steering box with a manual pitman arm why am I hitting my headers (hard)???? whats up???

    mine did the same thing. the pitman arm ended up denting the header about 1/4 maybe. i didnt really loose any turn radius. we put these on mashories car and it was the same way. they clear power steering pitman arms but not manual pitman arms

    Same here. My pitman arm worked a light crease into the header where it needed room. No problems now.
